Hey! There actually exists women like this... even if they don't want to admitt
it out in the open... I know at least one from "real life" and signs of others
have been visible here...

They may not be into synths, but don't misstake the DIY buissness to be an all-
male buissness (Cynthia could chime in about here...).

Here in town lives a women who is a DIYer and she gets various kits for he two
teenage daugthers to build (and she probably helps them), and this comes
straight from the mouth of our common dealer (of electronic components that is).
So, just imagine what kind of reference frame they have...

Cheers,
